Re: Tin Can jets
I don't know about feather light, but there are a few rc planes out there that weigh less than .5 grams. My lightest is 1 gram. I really don't see the point in using a pulse jet for an rc plane with other power equipment being so much cheaper, lighter, more powerful, and less hot. Unless you are mak...

Copper pipe Lockwood Hiller
Could I use copper pipe and fittings from home depot to make a small hiller?

Tin Can jets
Hey guys. I'm new here. I've built a jet before, one from a jam jar. I followed a guide in Make Magazine they had a few years back. Saw some videos like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9y0gN8cOCo And thought they could really use a thrust augmentor. Does anyone know of a good shape for one on ...
